Mytek Ptools-HD DIO Card – User Manual
Quick Start
1. DIO-HD card installation
Remove top cover from the converter, unscrew DIOCARD1
slot plate (first slot from the right while looking at the rear
panel) and install the DIO-HD card using provided screws.
Double check all connector pins match properly the pins of
the connector on the main converter board.
2. Connecting the card to Protools HD ® system
Pro Tools card must be connected to the Primary Port of the
DIO-HD card. Maximum of two converters (which can be of
different brands) can be connected to each Protools card. In
case of more than one converter, the second one should be
daisy chained, i.e. Expansion Port of the first converter
should be connected with the Primary Port of the second.
3. Connecting the clock signal
The first converter in the Pro Tools system must operate on
internal clock and is the system clock master. We
recommend always making Mytek the master as it
incorporates superior clock generator with multiple
wordclock outputs. When 192 I/O Digidesign interface in
the slave configuration, WCK on the front panel of Mytek
converter must be set to FS/4.
4. Hardware Setup Configuration
Choose Setup > Hardware Setup and check sampling
frequency, clock signal (should be set to Internal) and
confirm Input and Output interfaces are present. Every
converter in the menu should be Set to Default
Remember to turn off
power, and disconnect
power and signal cables
while working with the top
cover removed.
Turn down the amplifier
and speakers connected to
the computer while

application.
